MATLAB Fundamentals

MATLAB is a popular program used for analyzing fundamental mathematical and computational problems. MATLAB contains a large number of commands, requiring beginners to spend time studying the various commands before being able to use them effectively. This book, "MATLAB Fundamentals," presents the important and necessary commands to allow beginners to use them correctly within a short period of time. In addition, it explains the theory behind these commands, resulting in confidence in the generated results. The content of the book begins with an overview of MATLAB, describing the wide-ranging capabilities of the program. It explains matrices, which are the foundation of MATLAB, and graph plotting in various formats. It also covers self-written programming methods that can be easily implemented in MATLAB. Then, it discusses the use of MATLAB to solve various problems using numerical methods, ranging from solving mathematical equations to approximating values within a range, creating functions to fit data, integration, and finding the derivatives of functions. It also explores symbolic mathematics, which is a highlight of MATLAB. The book includes numerous easy-to-understand examples and exercises for practice, making it suitable for students in science and engineering disciplines as well as those who want to maximize the efficiency of using MATLAB in a short period of time.
